HEALTHY LIFESTYLE · JUNE 2018
When you’re in your 20s, you have energy,
ambition, and the possibility to do anything
you set your mind to. Now is the time to
figure out what’s right for you, so go out
and get a new job, follow your passion, and
pursue other goals, no matter how impossible they may seem.
Make the most of your potential, energy and skills.
STEP AWAY FROM
YOUR GOALS IF
YOU HAVE TO
At your age, you probably worry about
missed opportunities. You should know
SEIZE THE
once it’s gone, it won’t return – at least,
OPPORTUNITY
not in its original form. Learn to study each
opportunity carefully, then, decide
whether it’s worth turning down.
If it’s good, grab the opportunity like your life
depends on it.
INVEST IN
YOUR (SELF)
KNOWLEDGE
Learning something new will do a
world of good. That new skill might
come in handy. Consume knowledge
because the more you know, the more
your skills are worth.
“Witho ut continual growth and progress, such words
as improvement, achievement, and success have no
meaning.” – Benjamin Franklin
When you’re an
adult, who you
GROW YOUR
know is as
NETWORK OF
important as
CONTACTS
what you do.
Most people in
their 20s don’t realize that. Having a large
network of contacts means you’ll always
have opportunities at your disposal. The
same can be applied rule can be applied to
your personal life.
EMBRACE CRITICISM
Praise feels good, but it’s criticism that will help
you become a better adult. Constructive criticism
from someone who means well should be
embraced. If the criticism comes from envy, it’s
confirmation that your work is valuable.
FAILURE IS PART OF
THE GROWING PROCESS
“Success consists of going from failure to
failure without loss of enthusiasm.”
– Winston Churchill
Just because you’ve failed at something
doesn’t mean you should give up.
Every failure is a step toward success.
Failures help you grow. Learn to
embrace your failures.
LEARN HOW
TO HANDLE MONEY
TAKE CARE
OF YOUR HEALTH
Regardless of how hard you’ve worked
to earn it, money will disappear if you
don’t learn to save it or make sound
investments with it. While it’s normal
to splurge, you should also have a
financial plan to help secure your
future. Think of money as a tool to
help you achieve your goals. Beginning
this habit can be as simple as saving
ten percent of your income and
maintaining a monthly budget.
You probably believe
you’re invincible. However,
if you don’t take care of
your physical health now,
it will catch up to you in
your 30s. Exercise regularly,
watch what you eat, do
everything in moderation
It’s never too early to prepare
for success. Enjoy life as
much as you can, but not at
your future’s expense. Follow
the advice outlined above
and you’ll be on your way to
success.
FIND AN ADDITIONAL
SOURCE OF INCOME
Instead of solely focusing on a full-
time job, find a side project that will
increase in profitability in time. In
doing so, you’ll have an alternative
career to fall back on should
something go awry and extra money in
your saving account.
